This testimony was "under oath" and as Lawyer Williamson noted "other than Nifong, no one in the preceeding had testified under oath prior to the bar hearing." She said, when asked "Not as a SANE but as a Registered Nurse." Directly opposite of whaat you have posted. I fully support Levicy testifying under oath - again. We all want the truth to come out.

The form for recording responses had spaces for "yes", "no", and "not sure". If Mangum's answer had been "not sure", Levicy should have put down "not sure", but instead her report said that Mangum had stated an answer of "no" three times. When Levicy tried to represent Magnum's answer as "Mangum said 'no' but wasn't really sure" she was twisting the evidence to try and fit her own theories.<BR/><BR/>When Levicy was asked how the violent gang rape with ejaculation that Mangum described could have occurred and not left any DNA, she said "I wasn't surprised when I heard no DNA was found because rape is not about passion or ejaculation but about power." Whether intentionally or unintentionally or just through ignorance of scientific fact, Levicy gave an answer to a question <I>other than</I> the one that had been asked. Her answer would have been a reasonable answer to "How could <I>some kind of rape</I> have occurred without leaving DNA evidence?" But as a response to "How could <I>the alleged rape that Mangum described</I> have happened without leaving DNA evidence?" it showed either an inability to understand a simple question ... or a deliberate attempt to deceive.<BR/><BR/>Both are worthy of "criticizm".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-89159988660382340312007-11-14T21:43:00.000-05:002007-11-14T21:43:00.000-05:00GP,I think you mean "Unintelligent Design."

His actions and words stand as they were done and said. History will judge him. He is definitely NOT going to say more about Lacrosse. The Blue committee may decide that he is enough of a liability that they want to gently assist him to move on to "write his memoirs", or make a movie, or travel and do dramatic Shakespearean readings.<BR/><BR/>The Duke Athletic departments OWE IT to the current athletes to focus on them, their games, and their lives this year. It already takes a lot of guts for these young athletes to face crowds that are peppered pretty liberally with outright hostility. You cannot play a game looking over your shoulder. <BR/><BR/>Duke professors need to prove ( if they can) that they are worthy of trust and deserve their rank, and their pay. With public scrutiny as it is, I would say that MOST of them ( if they in fact have an academic specialty with any true educational content) would like to get on with it.<BR/><BR/>Finally, the students have got to make the best of their days and months at Duke and buckle down to the academic rigors that one would expect at Duke. <BR/><BR/>It does no good to keep beating a dead horse. All you do is raise a stink and spread contamination.<BR/><BR/>Duke is a dead horse as far as Lacrosse Hoax goes...<BR/><BR/>UNLESS... <BR/><BR/>The lawsuits discover linkages heretofore unknown that will re-open the case.<BR/><BR/>However, the focus is now on Durham. And that should now be OUR focus, IMO. <BR/><BR/>Much will be uncovered. As it is, bloggers will push everything to the wall of authenticity and validation. <BR/><BR/>KC and Stuart continue to provide an incredibly important service to the world of academia, as well as the Lacrosse Hoax in general.<BR/><BR/>The pervasice, sneaky, PC agenda in universities is no longer able to go unchallenged because of this blog, and others like it.<BR/><BR/>Brodhead, Nifong, Meehan, Levicy, Addison, and on and on. They have been exposed. The purpose of this blog is not to "kill" them, even with words. But to expose them.<BR/><BR/>For some, the consequences of their duplicity will likely end them in deep legal doo doo. For others, they may wriggle themselves out of the net... for now. <BR/><BR/>But it really is NOT over.<BR/><BR/>Classes must go on. Games must be played. Students must be educated, even at Duke. <BR/><BR/>But the Lacrosse case is far from over. <BR/><BR/>Those two realities have to exist simultaneously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-29561053485687182332007-11-13T21:11:00.000-05:002007-11-13T21:11:00.000-05:00Re:7:42Is Bigas a resident of Duhh, or does she ju...Re:7:42<BR/><BR/>Is Bigas a resident of Duhh, or does she just drink T-Bird like one? <BR/><BR/>Sorry, KC.
